Yes, and as I'm not about to notify the other party that I'm posting this here, I suppose you'll just have to take my word for what I say. Let's just say that this particular developer requires a much more rigorous coding style than the language's community does. And I would be thrilled to death if we had more rigorous rules about unit tests and documentation, but as it is there are practically none of those things. Suffice it to say, the rules seem to be less about improving our code and more about satisfying arbitrary whims.
